Now, listen closely at around 0:19. What do I hear? Yes, a Simmons drum pad. And as you all probably know, this brand was used by Roger during the Hot Space tour (and probably The Works tour as well, but they didn't play Rock It during that tour).

Another thing: the song is cut at the end. Well, my take on this: because it segues into WWRY (fast version).

Yet another thing: listen closely what Brian does at 1:21. He does exactly the same at the Montreal 1982 show. Plus, I have only heard him doing this during the Hot Space tour.

To sum up: me thinks this excerpt (and thus the rest of the tape) is from Vancouver 1982, which could be possible since no recording of this show has emerged so far.

Well, what do you people think?

Edit: Hmm, the other songs include LMEY, which wasn't played during the HS tour. Oh well, still anxious what your opinions are ;-)

I thought this exact same thing when I first heard it. Also the start of the song - the audience are so loud as though this is more like the start of a concert and not a reaction to a song that was performed further down the set list. And yes the reason the end is cut is because it then segued into We Will Rock You.

Ah, don't feel so bad Greg. It's not the first time someone has created a fake recording, and certainly not the last. They put all the right edits in all the right places and sped up the tape, so it was clearly created by someone whose Queen live knowledge is up to snuff - and it took this long for someone to figure it out. Excellent work, Rick.

Greg don't worry. This isn't your fault at all. Like SirGH said, people have done this all the time. If there's someone who should feel guilty for this it is me. I'm the one who has it on youtube with 1,000 + views. Should I just take it off youtube?

I told you to put it up--plus I sent it to over 1,000 people. I don't know what to do. One thing's for certain, I'm only trusting Bob and Queenconcerts for bootlegs.

Screw "tapers."

I always knew I was a star And now, the rest of the world seems to agree with me-Freddie Mercury

And you can't only use websites as your resources for live recordings, because new recordings are always coming out. People like Mr Scully and I can't possibly know that a recording exists before a taper or a bootleg label lets it out.
